Allmendinger, Editor. “We are a ‘g-rated’ magazine catering to the interests of cat owners.” 80% freelance. Welcomes new writers. Bimonthly. Pays on publication.

CURRENT NEEDS: “Any stories that deal with cats. Fiction and non-fiction are published. No poetry. No tributes to dead cats.” Pays flat fee of $100 depending on the story for 500-1000 words. Submit query or complete ms by email, or by mail with SASE.
PHOTOS/ART: “We accept color prints or slides, or black and white prints.” Pays $25-$50 for inside art and $50 for a cover.
HINTS: “Send a manuscript that’s clever or funny or covers a different topic. Keep it short and fun or concise and factual. Art helps a sale. When submitting by mail, always include an SASE with enough postage to cover the return. NEVER: use purrfect anywhere in a story. It drives me nuts; Bad writing. And, there’s a lot of it out there. I’ve wanted to tell people not to give up their day jobs on occasion; Handwritten submissions. Please be sure to be specific about what you are sending in the subject line of your e-mail. I get 1,000s of emails per week and you’ll be deleted if I don’t know what you are sending. Also, be sure to include all of your information on any attachment because I print out submissions to read. If there’s no information, i.e. a byline, address, e-mail address or phone number on the attachment and I trip over one of my pets while walking with a stack of submissions and they go flying, how will I know it’s your story when it’s separated from the cover letter?”
